Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot joins Ken and Anthony to break down Deshaun Watson's strong practice, saying it shifted momentum back toward him after he drew Jared Verse offside twice using elite cadence. She explains why the QB competition has felt uneven so far, noting Watson only recently got full first-team reps with weapons like KC and Denzel Boston, and lays out a scenario where Dawand Jones could start at left tackle while Spencer Fano continues developing. Cabot also predicts a resounding yes when asked whether Jared Verse's leadership matters more to this year's Browns than Myles Garrett's sack production would have, calling Verse a "unifier" and "force multiplier" that fits exactly what Todd Monken wants. She closes by outlining the expected preseason plan for splitting starts between Watson and Shedeur Sanders before the presumptive starter takes over Week 3 against the Patriots.
